Question 60

A shopkeeper marks the price of an article in such a way that after allowing a discount of 22%, he gets a gain of 11%.If the marked price is Rs.888, then the cost price of the article is:

Solution

Marked price = 888

Discount = 22%

Selling price = 888 $$\times$$ 78/100 = 692.64

Gain = 11% so selling price = 111% of cost price

692.64 = 111% of cost price

Cost price = 692.64 $$\times$$ 100/111 = ₹ 624
